the Anchor, well, what a gem, for us Real Ale questers it was a great find...providing you have an afternoon sesh.. I know this is Beer in The Evening, but unless you're eating, and have therefore booked a table, you will be treated like a second-class citizen during the evenings. We tend to use pubs for drinking in, strange as this may seem... We counted 36 tables, restaurant AND bar, and every one was reserved, this occured on four different occasions, so now it's aftenoons only. A great shame, as it is a beautiful pub, in a beautiful location.

Fantastic setting, but first impressions count, there is a sign saying something about no children allowed in the bar - however one of the bar staff clarified this as babies in pushchairs are not permitted. The menu is too extensive, it took several minutes to find the non fish dishes on the menu. The menu is far too complicated. Going for a non fish dish was for some of our party a bad mistake - they ordered a pasta dish whish was almost a tin of tomatoes poured over some pasta - too much tomato taste and very little else. I had the gurt big pie, which was excellent. The barman / waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable, the service was good, prices were average. If you're a fish lover, or you enjoy sitting outside a pub by the water, then this place is a must, when in the Starcross Area, otherwise, there are probably better places to eat.

I would spend the rest of my days sitting in The Anchor if I could.

To much on the menu was the first thing i noticed and a very severe looking woman who turned out to be the landlady. Beer was good with a decent selection. Abbot ale is always good. Food was good too but took me nearly an hour to decide.(i may just be too fussy but over 20 differnt mussel sauces is a bit much) I shall return however.

I bought this at a Hallmark store in Lawrence,MA around 2000-2001 for 40% off.
It was old stock they had for about 10 years that they couldn't get rid of.
The avenue at Hillsborough Plantation in Charleston is among one of the prettiest in the state.
"The Town of Maryville was laid out on land along the Ashley River that was originally the "experimental plantation" for the Carolina colony. Governor Joseph West's palisaded home stood near the modern-day intersection of Fifth Avenue and Main Street in the 1670s. According to Hutcheson's research, Fifth Avenue followed the original road to the palisade, therefore, qualifying the street as one of the oldest roads in South Carolina."
In 1887, the land was divided and sold to African-Americans who earned their money by working as labor farmers or in phosphate mines. Mary Just purchased a few hundred acres of the plantation and founded an African-American community here. Mary prodded the community to form a town which eventually lead to the creation of Maryville, with the town being named in her honor.
"Mary Just was born in Charleston to parents Charles Frazier Just and Mary Matthews Just. His grandfather, Charles Just, was a prominent member of Charleston's free Black community before the Civil War. His father and grandfather died when Everett was four years old. Mary was a teacher at an all-Black school in Charleston. In the summers, she worked in the phosphate mines on James Island. It was backbreaking work. Following the death of her husband in 1887, Mary moved her family off the peninsula and acquired several hundred acres of land known as "the Hillsborough Plantation." She co-founded the town of Maryville, one of the first black town governments in South Carolina. The town was later absorbed by the City of Charleston."
When Highway 61 was constructed it went directly through the middle of Maryville creating a separate neighborhood now known as Ashleyville. Ashleyville is the name given to the lands closest to the Ashley River with the others across the highway retaining the original Maryville name. The plantation today is a private residence.
Also interesting to note about the Just Family "Mary Just had a passion for education and felt the town of Maryville needed a school. She sold property to help found the Frederick Deming Jr. Industrial School in the early 1890s. It was the first industrial school for African-Americans in South Carolina. She also instilled this passion in her children. Her son, Ernest, took the spark she instilled in him and excelled in the academic field, graduating magna cum laude from Dartmouth College with a zoology degree, and special honors in botany, history, and sociology. In 1916 he received his doctorate in experimental embryology from the University of Chicago."

NOTES is a series I started in 1968. NOTE TO ERIK was the second one completed but the footage goes back to 1966. When I saw the footage I loved it, but didn't feel ready to deal with it. Seeing Sharon Moss again, who had moved to NYC from Storrs, CT inspired me to return to this footage to make a note to a mutual friend ERIK KIVIAT. It took about 2 years for me to feel I could respond to the generosity of her performance and the images I had gathered and shaped in my camera. Sharon Moss and her cats play and dance naked in the snow.

WSP formed in 2009, and have quickly laid down impressive live credentials at some of the country's top venues and festivals, as well as being recently featured as "Taking Off" (Jazzwise, August 2010). Within the last few weeks the band have also been awarded the prestigious Peter Whittingham Jazz Award for 2010!
The group is centred around the compositional eccentricity of pianist Dave Morecroft, who delights in meddling with jazz in its many guises.
Described as "...infectiously enthusiastic music..." (Chris Parker) the group draw from a wealth of musical experience in jazz, funk, free-improvisation, punk and contemporary classical music.
Combining lyricism with burning intensity, unruly progressions and flowing melodic phrases, WSP create edgy and experimental music with a smile on its face. Perfect I think you'll agree, for a Friday night in the Crypt!
"...their penchant for late-night funk and grooving beats leaves few in doubt as of the real driving force of their sound...the quintet (are) steadily expanding their enthusiasts with distinctive musical flow. Thoroughly experimental, they also prove improvisation doesn't necessarily have to mean incomprehensible off notes and key changes."

Today was fabulous. Went on another shopping trip for some more warm clothes... so unlike me!! I never shop. So it's been fun. Tomorrow i'll be going back for a pair of boots they didn't have in my size. :)
Happy Sunday everyone.
Apparently they are introducing £5 notes into the cash machines to try and circulate them more. Personally this is the first £5 note I have had for weeks
Note: head, forelimbs and inside of shell predated but tail and hind limbs left intact.

Frost and ice in Florida? Yes! We have many winter days with temps (F) in the 20s. Hard freezes and frost is not uncommon. One year it was so cold that the giant wild pythons in the Everglades were freezing to death, and it even got to freezing temps in the Keys! The saving grace is that it might be 30F when you wake up, but then later in the day it will warm to 60F! And we have a pretty decent amount of sunshine most of the time.
These are micro shots of ice crystals from the frost on various bits of vegetation in my yard. I have to shoot them early in the morning because even the heat from my breath will start them to melting, and even if the temp is 30F, when the sun hits the yard the frost vanishes in minutes so I have to move fast.
The Nature Spirits have provided me with some delicious abstracts and personal appearances in these micro shots...read the descriptions I’ve written and view the notes I’ve placed on some of the photos, and then view them at their largest sizes available and you’ll be amazed, too!

The Editor's note in the 1927 popular reprint of Hall Caine's 1923 novel about the forlorn love between a Manx farmer's daughter and a German interned on the Isle of Man during WWI.
Originally entitled 'The Woman of Knockaloe' when it was published in 1923, it was retitled when it was republished in 1927, in order to coincide with the film starring Pola Negri that was based on the book. (The film changed its location from the Isle of Man to Normandy, and so a change of title was necessary).
This was Hall Caine's last novel, and the final book he published during his lifetime. Long after the startling success of novels like The Deemster, The Manxman and The Eternal City, his writing was considered old fashioned by 1923 and the reviews of this book were not too encouraging. It sold well, but it inevitably caused outrage on the island, where people reacted strongly against even the fictional suggestion that a Manx woman could love a German.
The Wikipedia page on the book can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woman_of_Knockaloe
The two editions of the novel can be found on Archive.org and also on themanxnotebook: www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/hcwk1923/index.htm
